Question

Eric bought lunch for him and his friends at Papa's Pizza. His bill was $50 with tax. If he used a 15% off coupon and then left a 20% tip based on the discounted ticket, how much did he have left out of $100 bill?

Responses
A $51.00$51.00
B $47.00$47.00
C $60.00$60.00
D $40.00$40.00
E $49.00

Answer 1

First, we need to calculate how much Eric paid after using the 15% off coupon:

$50 x 0.85 = $42.50

Then we need to calculate how much the 20% tip would be based on the discounted price:

$42.50 x 0.20 = $8.50

So in total, Eric spent $50 - $42.50 + $8.50 = $16 on the bill and tip.

Therefore, he would have $100 - $16 = $84 left out of the $100 bill.

Answer: $84.
